VENICE, CA – The nominations for the 2017 NightMoves Awards have been announced and Mick Blue is up for Male Performer of the Year.Also, Mick and his wife Anikka Albrite were the leads in Adventures with theBaumgartners (Adam & Eve), which is nominated for Best Feature Production Release.The Male Performer of the Year trophy would look particularly amazing on Mick’s mantle since it would look so nice next to his three AVN Male Performer of the Year trophies, his AFWG Award for Best European Male Performer and his trophy from XRCO for Male Performer of the Year.Of course, seeing Adventures with theBaumgartners, a blockbuster movie close to the hearts of Mick and Anikka would also be a great moment for the top couple in the adult industry.“It’s a great honor to receive these nominations,” Mick said. “I am always humbled by the Male Performer noms. There are so many great, great performers out there, so to be recognized as one of the top guys in the industry is huge. And to be nominated for Baumgartners, which gave Anikka and I the opportunity to work together so closely, it would be incredible to see that movie win an award.”​

​Winners in both categories will be decided by fan voting, which takes place through Sept. 15.

Fleshbot has run a pair of interviews with stars of BAM Visions movies. Haley Reed, who starred in Gape Tryouts 2, gave one response that may be of particular interest to Mick; when asked what fetish she would like to explore on camera: “Anal! Anal, anal, anal! I want to try two dicks in my ass at once. That will be a first.”

Fleshbot also ran a feature titled “Five Reasons I Loved My ‘Fantasy Anal Play,’” by Felicity Feline. Fantasy Anal Play is a recent release from BAM Visions and she compliments Maestro Claudio’s camera work, says she loved the opportunity to try out Bad Dragon toys for the first time, compliments the cast (which also includes Jade Jantzen, Kacie Castle and Zelda Morrison), and she praised the makeup artist. Oh, and she kind of liked working with Mick, too.

“Firstly, I love working with Mick Blue,” she said. “He is super professional and easy to work with and he is very attractive as well, which makes the sex part that much easier. Shooting anal with him is not difficult and actually feels good as he has a very proportional and smooth penis.”

Mick also popped up in a Huffington Post story about how Aurora Snow’s father felt about her being a porn star. The article discusses how some other families have responded to similar revelations, which led to this gem from writer David Moye: “Mick Blue’s parents asked for a VHS video of one of his films because his relatives wanted to watch.
